Recite A Sutra (3): For Protection & Unlimited Blessings of Auspiciousness Recite One of the Most Powerful and Highly Revered Sutra Both In Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism Called “The Diamond of Perfect Wisdom Sutra”!

Since what I post here are written and are on automatic – scheduled posting I have no way as to whether the ‘Recite A Sutra’ series will be receiving a positive response. However, I truly believe that this series is one of the best series I have written because tapping into the power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas thru the sutras are free and you need not make any donations, not to mention that they are very effective, all you have to do is invest some time for it. But of course, before you recite a sutra you will have to remember is that is better to chant them loudly and it is also quite good to memorize them so you can chant the sutra by heart. In doing this, you will immediately multiply the merit in reciting the sutra by a hundred – fold. Before you move forward I suggest that you read the post called – INVITE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS BY RECITING A SUTRA!

Today, allow me to share with you one of my favorite sutra and that is THE DIAMOND OF PERFECT WISDOM SUTRA more popularly and simply called as THE DIAMOND SUTRA. This sutra, aside from THE HEART SUTRA, is one of the most highly revered sutra in both Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism. The sutra is also called as THE VAJRA CUTTER PERFECTION OF WISDOM SUTRA or THE VAJRA SUTRA or THE VAJRA CUTTER SUTRA.

As mentioned, 99% of the sutras are the Buddha’s teaching to his disciples or heavenly beings, and THE DIAMOND SUTRA is no exception, however, what is so great with THE DIAMOND SUTRA is that simply reciting the sutra brings tremendous amount of blessings of auspiciousness, and if one recites it by heart and understand the sutra the blessings are further multiplied and promises enlightenment to those who practices it.

Furthermore, simply having the sutra at a certain place, this makes the place really holy and should be considered as a holy ground like the stupas and should be venerated with incense and offerings. The Buddha also akin it to like have the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in that place. It is that holy and powerful!

At the very least, reciting the sutra promises one a good life. But it guarantees protection and tremendous amount of blessings. This is why I personally recite this everyday!

Like any mantra it one should invoke Shakyamuni Buddha first then recite the SUTRA OPENING GATHA.
